Make the most of your time in Crystal River and go fishing with All Shores Outdoors. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Gavin can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Flounder, Tarpon, Tripletail, Black Seabass, Gag Grouper, Grunt, Sheepshead, and more. You’ll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Gavin also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear. 

Capt. Gavin welcomes you aboard a 21’ Skiff with space for 4 passengers. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. It’s recommended to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with All Shores Outdoors!

Half Day Trip – Inshore on January 24, 2025

We had a great time with Captain Gavin. It was a little bit of a tough day for fishing. Cold, really low tide, but Captain Gavin went above and beyond to get us on some fish. And he did! Captain Gavin was a great guide, he really knows the area. And he was fun a talk with. His boat is in great condition, equipment was great. We had a very enjoyable day with Captain Gavin. We'll be booking him again and would recommend to anyone wanting to fish this area. Thanks Captain Gavin!

Full Day Trip – Inshore on February 14, 2024

My son and I went out on a beautiful but cool day. The fish can be fickle this time of the year but Capt. Gavin made sure we had a good day. We caught trout and several other species of fish and enjoyed the beautiful waterways. The captain has been fishing for many years and is knowledgeable of the area. I will be back when the bite picks!

Scalloping trip with Capt Gavin

Half Day Trip – Scallop (AM) on July 22, 2023

Met Gavin last year during a scalloping trip with another company. He has his own business now and the quality of the experience was great! He made our group of women feel welcomed and right at home. Very responsive and professional.

Hello, I'm Captain Gavin Shores! Fishing has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I spent my entire life exploring these waters and cherishing every moment of it. Before becoming a guide, I worked hard as an airboat captain, waiting for the perfect opportunity to launch my guiding career. And now, here I am, living my dream and helping others discover the wonders of this beautiful area. Life is full of exciting adventures, and I'm thrilled to share my knowledge and experiences with all of you!
